sullivan Going 10 Europe.

WHAT HE INTENDS TO DO WHILE ACROSS THE OCEAN,
John L. Sullivan has determined to go to Europe
and has chosen as his hacker Harry Phillips OF
Toronto who was behind Harry Gilmore in his
fight with Jack McAulire. In an interview Sulli-
van SAID:
.'Mr. Phillips is a thorough gentleman, and there
is not the slightest doubt but our trip Will be a
successful one and will prove to be bonanza to
us, as on my arrival in England win give ten or
twelve exhibitions, and will do my utmost to
bring about an exhibition between Jem Smith and
myself. II the plan fails will challenge the VIM
ner OF the Smith-kilra1n match for s., 600 side,
and endeavOr TO come back TO the Hub victor. It
was very funny to hear the idle pratte OF Charley
Mitchell while he remained in Boston Why,
have repeatedly given him chance to have a go
both in public and in private, but the usual
answer from Mitchell was: There is no blooming
dust In ii. John. have Travelled throughout the
entire American continent and have met dozens
OF men like Mitchell, who were ready to risk their
lives for the sake or making q few thousand dol
lars Such men only meet me once in their lives
But in MitchelrS case will follow him and the
would-be champion to England and fight them or
show The people OF England, who are not easily
bIuf1ed, that there is difference between Drag
and real merit"
DEMPSEY AND MITCHELL.
.'There is q middle weight named Jack Dempsey.
who. with s., 600 in hard cash, drove Charley
Mitchell out OF Chicago, and Dempsey never pre-
tended to be able to whip me. Dempsey's money
was ready for months TO make match with
Mitchell, but he always found an excuse TO back
out Mitchell would not fight man VINO was his
equal, but always wanted TO light the man on top,
whom claim was myself By SO doing he had
nothing TO lose, but, on the other hand had lots
to gain by defeating me.
WHY KILRAIN WON'T DO WELL.
"You are undoubtedly aware" Sullivan con-
tinued, ''that Ed Hoiske is to accompany me
abroad. and also my friend Jim AcKeon, who was
with me On my Western tour. My object in going
to England is TO show the people there who the
real champion is, and IL ! continue In as good
spirits as am at the present moment there will
be very little doubt about the matter. ] don't
blame Mitchell for taking Ktlratn TO the old cOun-
try, but l do blame him for representing h1Ea as
being the best man on this side OF the water. You
can take my tip, said Sullivan, that Smith win
perfectly aware OF the fact. k1iratn may be good
man, but he has not got the heart to punish aman
after battle, but a true fighter knows nothing Of
the kind when he is engaged. The entire popula-
ton OF Boston and vicinity have got an IDEA that
country within one year with the undisputed title
OF champion OF the world or die In the attempt"

Reducing His Victim to Bankruptcy.
ALDEN B. DAMON ARRESTED IN BOSTON FOR swIND-
LING AN INVENTOR.
At Boston, Alden B. Damon is under arrest at
police headquarters charged with swindling Ever
EFT Cummings, OF Concord, out OF SIS, 600, thereby
running the latter's business and bringing him to
the verge Of bankruptcy. Mr.. Cummings prop
erty has been attached by creditors and keeper
has been placed In his store MI. Cummings dis
covered the secret OF making bOot-leelS out Of
wood pulp, and took out patent called ''the wood
pulp heel patent" He owned One-fOurth interest
In this patent and sold II to Aaron Smith, or Lynn.
This is the story OF what followed, as told by
the police: Early in the month Damon called On
Cummings and represented to him that JAS.
Smith, and that the latter had agreed to deliver
the contract al patent TO Houghton and sell it to
some Ody els L much larger sum. He as ured
ca iIiingS tina there Was a fortune in II, ii the
business was carefully handled, and Cummings
readily acqutesced Damon represented that he
had raised $500 which he had deposited with the
contract In the Security National Bank OF Lynn.
81 800 In a few days Damon called again on
Cummings and told him that N. N. Furbush, Of
Philadelphia, had agreed purchase the patent for
SlU3, 600, but could not take 1t until December g.
lie further stated that Furbush had deposited
Sc, 600 with w. NJ. Hale, OF Lynn, and that he
Damonl must raise s., 500 to be used as a forfeit
II he failed to carry out his part of the contract
Mr.. Cummings thought that this was genuine
purchase, and rather than lose the chance OF sell
more money to Damon, who later on made
another appeal, getting IN all $4,000 from his vic.
tim, who finally discovered his game and caused
his arrest.

The Pine Ridge Indians.

COL GIBSON RECOMMENDS THAT SOME OF THEN BE SENT
TO TONGUE RIVER.
The Indian Office has received from Cox Gibson.
OF the Army, report In regard to the allotment of
lands In severalty to the Sioux Indions. Col. Glib
son recommends that the Indians at Pine Ridge
VINO want to return TO the Tongue River country
be permitted to go there, as that will reunite
families that have been separated and pat q stop
TO the continual running pack and forth between
the reservations But this recommendation can
gress, as, in the first place. the appropriations
made for the Indians m ust be expended at the
agencies respectively design ted. Another diff
Guilty may arise in the allotment OF lands, IL Is
doubtful If there Is land enough at Tongue River
to supply the Indians now there, and those that
might want to go from Pine Ridge.

that it had nothing TO gain by continuing the
